Elise was informed prior to school this AM that Bella would be home today and not available for online learning until 10:30, so this cut into 1/2 of our lesson, which was due to start at 10:00AM.
Today we looked at the art and movies of the 1970s through interviews with directors Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Brian DePalma and Francis Ford Coppola. How did their perceptions of the world and the times produce film classics such as "Jaws," "Close Encounters," "ET," "The Godfather" and "Star Wars?" You can surmise a lot about the social conscience and consciousness based on the art that is produced in a specific era of time.

Lesson Comments
Remote 3rd period class. Bella said she just couldn't make it to our 1st period class earlier as she had a stomachache and was still in bed.
This lesson was spent learning about and applying chords 1, 1V and V in the key of C to various melodies, by ear and from music. We did this at the piano, Bella playing the keyboard harmony. She did well.
Bella went through a review of some of the present conjugations including regular ar, er verbs. She also wrote notes on the common irregulars Ser, Estar, Ir, Tener and the key phrases Ir a and Tener que.
She then wrote an 8 sentence paragraph using the present conjugation.
